Well it has been awhile that’s for sure. I will be updating on a more regular basis I promise. This entry contains a few random thoughts I have about my first topic Menswear.
My staples for Men: A pair of amazing jeans I love Chip & Pepper, William Rast, Jbrand. Basics are very important and should include: James Perse, Alternative Apparel, and Lna. As far as shoes go I’m completely in love with Creative Recreations, some great Doc’s are must, and classic converse. These brands are typically seen all over Los Angeles.
When I dress men I love the final outfits to always be edgy with precious elements of the Great Gatsby. What woman doesn’t love a modern day Cary Grant? Or even Ed Westwick’s character in Gossip Girl (Chuck bass).
That particular Upper Eastside look, a mixture of everything including Abercrombie, Lacoste, Ralph Lauren. Its just incredibly sexy and of course that look wouldn’t be complete without some amazing suits. I live for suits currently I’m especially obsessed with the Albert Hammond suits sold limitedly at Confederacy in Los Angeles. If you haven’t been there yet, rush over there ASAP.
A few weeks ago I heard about the collaboration with Mark Ronson and Gucci for a limited shoe collection. He was said to have visited several vintage shops to acquire inspiration for the line. And they are absolutely amazing. Seriously what can’t Mark Ronson do successfully? A pair of the Gucci Ronson sneakers are this seasons must have men’s item.
I could see those sneakers casual with some great denim jeans, basic burnout, with a Members only jacket, and some old school Ray Bans. They could also be dressed up with a great suit, with a sharp color.
Though these shoes don’t come cheap they start at $450 and up. Collaborate different high and low priced items into your wardrobe and final look. It is one thing to have style and great taste but without confidence it means nothing.
